Suspension stiffness

Harrison kayy · 04-03-2020, 05:33 PM

Hi guys,

Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

I'm curious if anyone on here can help me out with the suspension stiffness on the car.

I'm pretty sure everyone is well aware of how stiff it is.

Is there anyway I can replace the whole suspension system, possibly like the new M3 if it is softer will it work In the X3M, or any current system..

From my understanding every suspension upgrade or lower etc is essentially stiffer from stock they never make them softer.

I doubt the new M3 suspension will fit. Best bet is to get a full coilover system and adjust the settings.

You will not be able to just transfer over M3 parts to the vehicle and make the suspension softer

What rim/tire combination do you have? Going with a smaller 19" rim and all season tire would make it ride softer.
